Gerald Padua Santos, Pinoy Pop Superstar Year 2 grand champion, will be having his first major concert this May 15 at Cinema 6 SM North Edsa. He was born on May 15, 1990 that’s why the concert is entitled ‘Back on Track, a Birthday Concert’. Jolina Magdangal and Kyla will also be performing in his concert.

I have been following Gerald since he was still a contestant in the Pinoy Pop Superstar. Up to now, I am still watching and downloading his videos from the internet. I also joined recently the Geraldicts fans club which helped me track videos of performances of Gerald. My ‘My Videos’ folder is filled with Gerald Santos’ shows.

Ticket prices are P200, P300, and P750. For more information visit Gerald Santos’ fan page in facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Navotas-Philippines/GeraLd-Santos/119264281816. I really hope I can book a ticket to Manila and a ticket for the concert or else I will miss a portion of my life.Continue reading this post...

Last February, all CS students of the University of the Philippines Cebu were informed that there will be a t-shirt design competition sponsored by the Computer Science Guild. The prize is a free t-shirt with the winning design of course. During the first few days of the competition, I was lazy and pay little attention to submitted designs posted in the CSG wall and facebook photo albums. Then one Sunday, I was encouraged by my classmate to join the competition. I created a design and then emailed it to the CSG president.

I was informed by the president that I submitted my design late and there is already a winner. Even though my design was in vain, I still uploaded my t-shirt design in my facebook album and tagged some CS students in it. There were a lot of people (take note the word phrase ‘a lot’) who likes my design and wants it to be the official shirt of CS students for 2010. I explained to them that I was late to submit and I was disqualified in the t-shirt competition.

One day, the CSG president messaged me asking for the PSD format of my design. I was so happy because I thought he will reconsider mine. I was shocked when they released the final design of the t-shirt for CS students - a highly modified version of my creation. This is the first time that I did not order an annual CS t-shirt.

People might think that I am angry to certain people but I am not. To people who might be offended with this post, I am sorry. I still have to blame myself for submitting late because I did not pay attention to the poster of the contest. I just learned a lesson.Continue reading this post...
